Heres a cool website I used for my game that may be of use to you, DPS (Damage Per Second) Calculator - Weapon & Spell DPS calculation.

Hey sorry i might have missed out saying that i was going to place it into a textlabel

That does not change anything really

You can’t calculate DPS just from the damage dealt per hit, you must multiply that by the number of hits per second.

private void hit(GameObject other)
{
Rigidbody targetRigidbody = other.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
if (!targetRigidbody)
return;
targetRigidbody.AddExplosionForce(explosionForce, transform.position, explosionRadius);

    EnemyHealth targetHealth = targetRigidbody.GetComponent&lt;EnemyHealth&gt;();
    if (!targetHealth)
        return;

    float damage = CalculateDamage();
    targetHealth.TakeDamage(damage);
}
So i have this code and i want to calculate the damage every second. And i have this code public void TakeDamage(float amount) { amount -= armor.GetValue(); amount = Mathf.Clamp(amount, 0f, amount); 
    currentHealth -= amount;
    Debug.Log(transform.name + " takes " + amount + " damage");

    healthBar.SetHealth(currentHealth);

    if (currentHealth &lt;= 0f &amp;&amp; !isDead)
    {
        Die();
    }
}
as my damage code for the humanoid, any help would be great.

You can use the Time.deltaTime to calculate the damage per second.
float damagePerSecond = damage/Time.deltaTime;
